This Andy Warhol piece reminds me of the Scarlet Letter because Hester Prynne too was looking for herself. The colors are appropriate because the scarlet stands out as a dominating force, and the scarlet "A" on Hester's chest was the dominating force for her. No matter how the world interprets her, she knows who she is and how she wants to be perceived by others. The flaws of her natural beauty are pointed out by those who are jealous of her. As long as she can accept herself and the choices that she has made, there is no guilt that she must live with. This painting shows the power of accepting yourself for who you are through the eyes of the famous Mr. Andy Warhol.
In the passage, Hester is being looked down upon by others. She knows not to listen to their evil remarks because she is grateful for what life has handed her and makes the best of it. Her courage and strength make her more than just a typical woman.
The clip is a collage of scenes from the life of John Lennon while playing "Look at Me." This allows one to see his life through his voice which empowers the idea of how you want the world to see you.
